Collage Rooster

Hi All! Today I'd like to share with you a collage I made for my kitchen. The collage is on a wooden canvas from the dollar store. The pattern for the rooster I got online. The first thing I did was to print off all of the  digital papers, the background wood paper is from pixelscrapper.com and the rest of the digital paper is from nitwitcollections.com. I then printed off the pattern to the size I
I wanted and cut the pieces out, then I laid the cut out pieces on to the pattern paper traced around them and cut them out. Next  following the pattern I glued the pieces into place on the canvas,  after everything was dry I added a little paint on the sun and painted a few white flowers on the hill, I also used a chicken wire stamp here and there on the background. I then  outlined everything with a black marker and sprayed it with an acrylic sealer .  This is the first collage I have ever done and found it to be a lot of fun I already have some plans to some more. Hope you all have a great day!! Val

Valentines Day

Hi All Happy Valentines Day!! Our son was home for a few days last week and we spent some time together in my studio drawing and painting and just having a lot of fun. I had this canvas  I had glued some scraps of patterned paper on so I decided to draw a girl with heart shaped flowers . It's been awhile since I've painted anything I love how she turned out. Hope you all have a great day and I will be back soon. Val
